Oh, bright dawn of May

Our mother Montenegro

We are sons of your rocks

and keepers of your honesty

 

We love you, the rocky hills

And your awesome gorges

That never came to know

The chains of shameful slavery.

 

While our unity gives wings

to our Lovִ‡en cause

Proud shall be, celebrated will be

Our dear homeland.

 

A river of our waves,

Jumping into two seas,

Will bear voice to the ocean,

May eternal be our Montenegro!
